While we are wrapping up testing on the new patch (and prepping patch notes for tomorrow) I wanted to give you guys a bit of a teaser on some of the things going into the patch.

Black Boxes are now fixed!Grenades are now working and will be spawning in game.Grenades, Chem Lights, and Flare's will now attract Zombies.Lock Boxes will now disappear if they have not been opened for 2 weeks. Lock Boxes can now be picked up and put back into your inventory. This requires the lockbox to be empty. Hope this is enough to hold you guys over until the full patch notes The patch is scheduled for Monday pending internal testing.

Omg this must be the good news of the year!! Can you actually confirm the black box problem is also fixed on the Radeon 4000 series? I am abroad right now (with mac only) and can't test. To be more specific: I got a 4870, will I be able to play this game again? I'm asking because of the raised minimum requirements.

Q:Some people are speculating that the current engine (the ecplise engine) may not be able to support vehicles. Are you planning on adding vehicles? And if so is that gonna be something difficult.Sergey Titov:First of all we did vehicles coding. Our engine-team at Arktos did the vehicles for the game called War Inc but it didn’t got implemented yet.When Hammerpoint started working on warZ we said we want vehicles and we have had playable vehicles on the first tests of WarZ (february/march 2012).We didn’t put vehicles in the game yet because we have a bunch of issues with collisions with zombies. What will happen with a lot of vehicles at one spot. Is it gonna be stable etc.They are not in the game now but they will be there relatively soon. That is gonna be a pretty big update.

I'd also like to point out at that Sergey is indeed lying about the "War Z tests in feb/march 2012" as they hadn't even decided to port War Inc over and make War Z. This is confirmed by Roman, also known as RussianKaliber, on the Day Z mod forums.

They may have had vehicle coding for War Inc but as for War Z, it didn't exist.

n next 1-4 weeks we plan to add more features to our initial Release :

- Leaderboards- Rental for Gameworld and Stronghold servers- Locker items so you’ll be able to store your loot in a game world, as well as way to facilitate items dealing between players.- New “building blocks” – items that will allow you to customize your Stronghold meta game experience

This should cover all base features that we’ve promised game will have at release when we’ve announced it back in July 2012.

The funny thing is on the official warz/infestation you cant refind those threads talking about all this,since they deleted them/got hacked database lost data/blabla.But there are enough sites they dont own that have it all stored.

not yet patched game ,they do some tests

Yeah I understood it that way.My question was: Is the black box bug going to be fixed for the Radeon HD4000 series?(Because the min requirements have been raised raised to a 5850 or something like that) I'm just interested, since this game was runinng just fine on older Radeon cards before that whole black box crap (update) happenend, and I'm not going to buy a new card only for infestation, since I can still play other games with much better graphics on my 4870. And also I have never encountered such a behaviour/move like: Hammerpoint raising the games specs after it's been released quite a while and was running more or less fine before.
